The Active Ingredient Guide

A client arrives already using four actives she chose herself. Knowing what to keep, what to pause and what should never have been layered together is now part of the job.

Professional ranges have grown stronger and clients have grown more experimental. A good share of what walks through the door is no longer a single skin condition but a skin reacting to its own routine, and the treatment has to account for that before anything else.

This guide covers actives the way a therapist needs them: what each one does, the concentration and pH it works at, how long it takes to show anything, what it should not sit next to, and how to build a professional protocol around what the client is already doing at home.

What is inside:

• The main active families, what they do and how quickly they do it
• pH and concentration, and why the same ingredient behaves differently between two products
• Combinations to keep apart, and the ones that genuinely work well together
• Reading a professional ingredient list and comparing two products honestly
• Adjusting a treatment when a client arrives mid-course on strong homecare

Ideal for: Therapists who want to answer ingredient questions with confidence, and to build protocols that work with a client's routine rather than against it.
